If you are in Christ, then you yourself know the gospel. There is no way to be saved yourself if you don’t know the content of the gospel. It’s impossible.
Every song, to varying degrees, has a tainted source, because “all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory.” A local church and its leaders must determine, therefore, how much and what type of taint is tolerable in their context to not create a distraction and hinder their worship.
There is not one sin that you and I have or ever will commit for which Jesus has not paid the price.
When we live our daily lives for the sake of Christ’s Kingdom and we are motivated by the joys of being invited to join in on God’s timeless work of redemption and displayed glory, what can damper that?
So when Christmas comes, may it be a reminder of His presence. And when the holiday concludes, may the Lord keep His presence on the forefront of our hearts and minds so much so that we approach New Years differently than the world around us. Let’s plan and pray and think and hope with the presence and glory of God in full view.
Without seeing the Scriptures as primarily Christiological, we lose a gospel that is based in Christ and take on a gospel that is rooted in man’s efforts of obedience.
When the truth of God and love of God collide in the hearts of men, enemies dissolve and hearts are changed.
We were created specially by God for the sake of God’s own pleasure, and with that comes the greatest joy of being found in a specific and close relationship with Him.
